CORRESPONDENCE WITH GREAT BRrrArN
ooEcKRNIxa THE scHooNERs sxrzKD
IN BKHRINe SEA.
WAsHEoToN, May 13.-InquiRy ct the
Department of State regarding the
British vessels seized in BehEing Sea
last SIMMER disclosed the fact that no
demand had ever been made By the
British Government for the release Of
the vessels, nor has any claim for dam
ages caused by the seizures been made
upon the Government of the United
States. The correspondence between
the two governments on the subject was
very friRid. 1t opened with a letter
from the English Governments recitine
the fact of the seizure, and asking for
information relative 10 the details. This
vas received in September last, and so
Secretary Bayard Immediately made an
examination Of the matter.
IL became nece Isary to secure the re-
cord Of the proceedings before the
United States Court in Alaska, which
had resulted in she condemnation Of the
sealers, snd it was not until the follow
ing February that il vas received at the
Department. A careful examination
vas then made of the Law aRd Of the
treaty BY which the United States be-
came possessed OF Alaska, which resalt-
ed in the order for she release of the
seized vessels. The fast that the sealeFs
had been released was communicated to
the British Government. and tkat was
about all there was OF the correspond
ence on the subject.
There has been no occasion for
this government 10 make an Of
hetal declaration Of the extent of
it's jorisdiotion over the waters
IN Behring Sea. The matter re.
ceived careful examination, however,
and the detaiss Of toe treaty and the
prior correspondence on the general
subject Of marine Jurisdiction we're
studied. Il vas found that the boonG-
anytime between Russia and the United
States possessions as defined by the
treaty divided the waters Of BehrinR
Sea into two parts. which would tend to
negative the idea that Il was Q closed
sec, as the term is commonly under
stood. This government had also re-
sisted vigorously the claim Of
Russia 10 Jurisdiction over the sea
Of Ochstsk, which at times was almost
surrounded by Russian possessions and
rtfusea 10 acknowledge Russia's claim
to Jurisdiction ever BehEine Sea before
the oession Of Alaska in 1870.
However. Congress passed Q Law for
the prOtestion Of the fisheries Of B.h-

ton thus asserted. Meanwhile. before

quaint versions of some Of the legends that
are the common property of the whole world.
The one about the creation of animals in the
Garden of Eden and the age of man bears re-

the story runs, they thanked God, and asked
him what their fate was to be. When they
learned that they were 70 labor and suffer for
twenty years they each prayed to live a

make border drama Of that description
exciting and interesting, Some of the
characters pictured are trifie suggestive
of what has been seen in other western
plays. but, all in all. it is as original as
play depicting life on the border can be
made. Many of its scenes are calculated
to enthuse an audience composed of
people who admire the rugged frontiers.

SHOULD BE EXTENDED.
The season when the City scavenger
Makes His R0unds---A Necessity

The season when the City scavenger
Makes His Rounds-.-A Necessity
Denied.
Many are the complaints which are al
ways heard at this season of the year
over the abandonment OF the city scav-
enger wagon. To be denied this con-
venience, after being accustomed to it
during the larger part of the
season. is, indeed. grievance, and
the mutterings of discomfort which
arise when it is discontinued. are
most assuredly justifable. The city of
Rock Island has for several years made
provision. in its annual appropriations for
the hiring of scavenger to attend TO the
cleanin g of alleys. emptying of slop bar
rels, ETC., and furthermore. the establish
ment of the Office gave the people the ad-
vantage of knowing to whom they could
apply in case of the necessity of having
vaults cleaned. and other similar work
done.
The scavengers duty therefore while
not only furnishing great convenience
to Taxpayers and citizens generally. was
great factor in promoting the sanitary
welfare of the city. But the city has
had no scavenger for some time. The
city engages officers for seven months in
the year and he ceased mis-
regular rounds November LIST.
His wagons were stored down in the alb
attoir building, and he will not appear
again until April l. next. The present,
is an unusually late season, and the past
two weeks have brought as much need for
the scavenger's wagon as any time during
the summer People must deposit their
| garbage in the alleys until spring, when
the city will have to expend money to
clean them up. The suggestion there
fore presents itself would it not
be wise expenditure of money
to continue the scavenger all winterf
| There are many spells of mild weather
through the winter when the scavenger
would find abundance to do. The city
never appropriated money in a more ad
vantageous manner than in providing for
this officer, and it is not unlikely that it
would cost no more to continue his ser.
vices during the winter, than to have the
extra general cleaning up done in the
| spring.
